WinTV2000 users: Dropped frames question

[Gil T Pleasure]

I have been reading the "How many dropped frames is too many?" thread and it got me thinking: How can I tell if I have dropped frames?

I have the WinTV-PVR250 card and I am using the bundled WinTV2000 software to record my shows. I can't seem to find any info about captured frames/dropped frames/etc.

Thanks!

Dropped frames are for people who use their computer's cpu as the main workhorse in capturing uncompressed avi. Your wintv pvr 250 card uses a dedicated mpeg2/mpeg1 hardware encoder, dropped frames should not be a problem, and only a fraction of your cpu's processor is involved in the capturing process (mine is usually less than 3%).

Gil T Pleasure if have any other Q fell free to stop bye shspvr.com you find forum there, And as hotwings said this Hardware MPEG1/2 encoder there should be no drop frames what so ever with this card.
